Most unusual characters can be directly entered without any problems.

If you do encounter problems, try using HTML character entities. A common example looks like & for an ampersand & character. For a full list of entities see HTML's entities page. Some of the available characters include:

Character Description	You Type	You Get
Ampersand	`&`	&
Greater than	`>`	>
Less than	`<`	<
Quotation mark	`"`	"

Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The line break, paragraph and close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.
